Hi,
I looked at the "Status of Python branches" to check if it was up to
date. It's the case, thanks :-) But it recalled me that no exact date
was decided for the official end of line of the the Python 2 branch
(2.7 EOL).

Can we pick an official date?
The devguide list is effectively the official list. No one should plan
on getting anything from pydev after 1/1/20.
As far as ''we' are concerned, 2.7 EOL will be when the final 2.7.n
release is made. If Benjamin continues twice-a-year releases, n could
be 20 in mid 2020, about 10 years after 2.7.0 in 2010-7-3. Or perhaps
he will push a possible 2.7.19 'Dec 2019' release to 2020-01-01.
Especially if the rate of commits decreases, he might lengthen the
interval, thereby reducing the final ''n'. In the meanwhile, I think we
should let him continue planning one release ahead.

Planned future release dates: 2.7.14 in mid 2017
